People are constantly comparing players while debating who has more skill. The masses also want information regarding any top NBA basketball pick . Even though there seems to be all different types of debate, one fact rings true - Muggsy Bogues was an underdog who delivered. The NBA has had many great players throughout the ages. But one that really stands out is point guard Muggsy Bogues. He had incredible skill, but was an underdog because of his height. He is only 5'3", which is the shortest height ever to play in the NBA. Just because he was short, doesn't mean that he wasn't just as good as the other players who are giants. Muggsy could slam dunk just like the rest of them. Muggsy said, "I always believed in myself. That's the type of attitude I always took out on the floor - knowing that I belonged, that with my talents, my abilities, there's a place for me out there." His height didn't hinder him. If anything, his height, or lack thereof, encouraged and motivated him. Muggsy was born Tyrone Curtis Bogues on January 9 th , 1965 in Baltimore. During his 14 season career with the NBA, he played for different teams, including the Washington Bullets (1987-1988), Charlotte Hornets (1988-1997), Golden State Warriors (1997-1999), and Toronto Raptors (1999-2001). Along side his NBA career, he went on to the filming industry. He had a role in Space Jam, Eddie, Curb Your Enthusiasm, and Hang Time. After his NBA career he went into the real estate business, but just couldn't find the same happiness that he had while playing ball. Muggsy states that he has always thought about coaching basketball, and so he did. He was the head coach of the Charlotte Sting from 2005 to 2007. direct link: www.pregame.com/nba-basketball-picks/p/nba-basketball-pick-muggsy-bogues.aspx Page: nba-pickshttp://pregame.com/nba-basketball-picks/p/nba-picks.aspxWed, 01 Aug 2012 22:00:00 GMTb99575bc-4fda-4d0b-a780-474f53a1f57e:b5ff8a61-6e47-4c3e-ae1a-385636903ec8Unknown NBA Picks in the 2008 Draft NBA picks in the 2008 Draft look to be dominated by underclassmen yet again. One scouting service has Memphis point guard Derrick Rose as the top NBA pick while Kansas State forward Michael Beasley is another popular choice. Both players left school after their freshman years to become NBA picks. In fact, the first senior to become an NBA pick might not be until #19, as the Cleveland Cavaliers could take Rider's Jason Thompson. Six of the first seven NBA picks could end up being freshmen, with Arizona's Jerryd Bayless, USC's O.J. Mayo, LSU's Anthony Randolph and Texas A&M's DeAndre Jordan all expected to be selected in the Top 10. direct link: www.pregame.com/nba-basketball-picks/p/nba-picks.aspx Page: ncaa-basketball-pickshttp://pregame.com/nba-basketball-picks/p/ncaa-basketball-picks.aspxWed, 01 Aug 2012 22:00:00 GMTb99575bc-4fda-4d0b-a780-474f53a1f57e:5c016705-fba4-424f-bba5-013524655b66Unknown NCAA basketball picks from a handicapping perspective College basketball picks basically fall into three categories: non-conference plays, conference plays and tournament plays. All three versions of college basketball picks need to be addressed differently from a handicapping perspective. Some college basketball teams build their schedule around tough non-conference opponents compared to others, and those schools are often rewarded for this with higher RPI and strength of schedule rankings. The very best teams in the country often play a difficult non-conference schedule in preparation for their conference schedule, so they will have already played some good teams going in. Handicapping a team's performance against non-conference opponents at the beginning of the season can help you make better college basketball picks because you will have great insight on how they will perform against other top teams in both conference and tournament action. direct link: www.pregame.com/nba-basketball-picks/p/ncaa-basketball-picks.aspx Group: nba-basketball-pickshttp://pregame.com/nba-basketball-picks/default.aspxWed, 07 Sep 2011 22:52:00 GMTb99575bc-4fda-4d0b-a780-474f53a1f57e:60fe3fc4-888b-405d-8560-f66e258e0e38Unknownnba-basketball-picks
